Praise for Twisted Tales Events

'In the past few years Twisted Tales has become a major force in the promotion and appreciation of horror fiction. As well as putting on author readings and signings at bookshops it has expanded into organising larger events, bringing authors and critics together for discussions of the field. I've been involved in quite a few of both and have found them hugely enjoyable and stimulating - I believe the audiences did as well. May Twisted Tales continue to grow and prosper! If you love the field, support them! I do.' - Ramsey Campbell

‘Twisted Tales consistently produce well-organised events for writers and readers of horror. What really distinguishes Twisted Tales for me is the intelligent themes and investigations they pursue, and the high quality of the discussions they always stimulate. As an author I've been invited to three of their events and have been pleasantly startled, to near shocked, by the attendance levels - two out of three were even sold out. I salute anyone who contributes so much to the literary and cultural life of horror fiction.’- Adam Nevill

'Twisted Tales events are wonderful... a great way of promoting 21st century horror fiction. Supported by Waterstone's Liverpool One and really well organised, Twisted Tales brings together established names in the genre as well as new voices and of course readers. Looking forward to much more to come...' - Alison J. Littlewood

More on House of Small Shadows:

The Red House: home to the damaged genius of the late M. H. Mason,
master taxidermist and puppeteer, where he lived and created some of his
most disturbing works. The building and its treasure trove of antiques
is long forgotten, but the time has come for his creations to rise from
the darkness. Catherine Howard can’t believe her luck when she’s invited
to value the contents of the house. When she first sees the elaborate
displays of posed, costumed and preserved animals and macabre puppets,
she’s both thrilled and terrified. It’s an opportunity to die for. But
the Red House has secrets, secrets as dreadful and dark as those from
Catherine’s own past. At night the building comes alive with noises and
movements: footsteps, and the fleeting glimpses of small shadows on the
stairs. And soon the barriers between reality, sanity and nightmare
begin to collapse . . .
